William Tabar started creating his kinetic sand pictures in 1985 in Salt Lake City. In the beginning, there was sand and water. Then there was Exotic Sands by William Tabar, and the sands started flowing.Sand Pictures designed by William Tabar is the creator and inventor of the original handcrafted sand art designs that combine time, gravity, matter and motion to form fascinating ever-changing works of art.William Tabar's Exotic Sands ascend into mountains and glaciers, lakes and oceans, deserts and beaches. They soothe the psyche while they stimulate the imagination. Sand pictures by Exotic Sands are handcrafted with seven beautiful colored sands from around the world. Black from the African coast, white sands from New Mexico, green from South America and coral pink sands from Southern Utah. A quality knotty alder wood frame seals a highly guarded, non-toxic solution. Turn one over and the process begins creating a new sand picture with each new turn. Choose from three liquid colors, ocean blue, summer turquoise and sunset orange. Moving Sand Art available in three sizes and all styles include a swiveling pedestal. Specifically styled for any office or home. The unique high styled alder and cherry wood frames will adapt to the decor in any home. Exotic Sands is the Perfect Gift.

Quality is every concern with this artist William Tabar, the designer and original patent holder of the sand picture in 1987. ”Perfection is the goal! The liquid solution, air bubbles, sand combinations and framing will hold Exotic Sands as the ultimate sand picture company in the world”.

years
ago

sealed
correctly
and
the
solution
was
able
to
evaporate
through
the
seal
over
time.

Q:
Can I
display
my
Sand
Picture
in
direct
sunlight
in the
window?

Yes,
but
over
several
years
the UV
rays
will
fade
the
color
of the
liquid
some.
Back
lighting
from
sunlight
or a
lamp
inhances
viewing.

Q:
Why
does
the
air in
the
Sand
Pictures
become
one
big
bubble
over
the
course
of a
few
days?

A:
There
is a
detergent
in the
solution
that
helps
create
bubbles
when
the
sand
picture
is
agated
or
shaken.
Like
dish
soap
in
water
the
bubbles
only
last
for
awhile
until
re-agatated.

Q:
How
can I
create
the
best
scene?

A:
By
getting
all
the
bubbles
to the
top of
the
picture,
then
shaking
the
picture
to
create
small
air
bubbles
(the
smaller
the
bubbles
the
better).
Level
the
sand,
then
when
the
picture
is
turned
over
make
sure
the
bubbles
go all
across
the
picture
trapping
the
sand
momentarily.
Sometimes
it
could
take a
few
minutes
before
the
sand
breaks
through
the
bubbles.
Remember
"the
slower
the
flow
the
better
the
show".

Q:
Sometimes
half
of the
sand
falls
and
the
other
half
stays
above,
why is
this?

A:
This
is a
good
thing,
when
the
air
traps
some
of the
sands
above
it
creates
effects
of
Lakes
and
Oceans.
The
scene
is
more
exotic.

Q:
Will
the
black
and
white
sand
always
separate?

A:
Yes,
because
the
specific
gravity
of the
black
sand
is
twice
that
of the
white
sand,
the black
sand
falls
faster
and
dominates
the
white
sand
always
creating
separation.
